Chapter 707
After a night of wind and rain, the waves gradually became flat, but the sea water was a little turbid, which shows how big the wind and waves were yesterday. However, a fleet of hundreds of large and small ships rode the wind and waves and quickly headed northeast. There was nothing else around except for flocks of seabirds and whales and porpoises that occasionally jumped out of the sea, which made them look a little lonely in the vast sea.
"The country's rule was just, and the country was revived, and the country had no ethics, and humanity was unpredictable. Since ancient times, emperors came to rule the world, and all Chinese were inhabited by China to control barbarians, and barbarians lived outside to serve China. It was not known that barbarians lived in China and controlled the world. The self-developed the barbarians from the north of the Yuan Dynasty and entered China, and went against the heavens... The mountains and rivers collapsed, and the iron blood was sprinkled, and I vowed to drive away the Tartars and restored my rivers and mountains!" On the top of the country, Ma Tingluan, who was following the escort, read the "Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty" and said, "Your Majesty's few words are really exciting, and the feelings are hard to suppress themselves!"
"Xiang Zhong said it well. Your Majesty is also indignant and gushed out!" Xu Zongren said with a stroke of his beard. He knew very well the writing style of the young emperor. Although he had not been taught by ten famous teachers for so many years, his articles were still unliterate and easy to understand, but they often did not conform to the rhythm. Poetry is even more rare and rumor is common. Nowadays, most of the people in the army are singing from their own hands, such as training songs, shooting ballads, scouts, etc.
"Haha, I think Your Majesty is not that he cannot, but he does not want to. Think about his age of being weak, leading the entire army to attack the Yuan Dynasty and conquer the world. His ability is not comparable to several articles. If Your Majesty is obsessed with the articles, why don't you worry about not writing famous works!" Wang Yinglin also attended a lecture banquet. Of course, he knew that his literary attainments were not profound, but when he was in his right year of study, he was in the heart of the world. How could he force him to think about how to write word by word?
"What Bohou said is true, Your Majesty is a genius of the world!" Xu Zongren interrupted, "In the battle of Yashan that day, the enemy general Zhang Hongfan rushed to attack Zhoucheng with the power of the tide, and seized dozens of large boats in a row, breaking a corner of the city. All the generals were shocked and fled one after another. However, Your Majesty Gao Gang reached his waist, but he was not afraid of danger to drive the boat forward, crossing the boat to block the enemy on the sea. On that day, he stood at the bow of this boat and waved the flag, calmly dispatching the army, and his heroic posture still often reflects his dreams."
"All the troops were encouraged to see this, and bravely stepped forward with the Yuzhou to repel the enemy, but also killed several enemy generals and destroyed hundreds of enemy ships. Then, taking advantage of the tide, they rushed into the enemy's formation first, completely defeated the enemy's army, and stopped the enemy's first Zhang Hong. He was ashamed of his majesty's reprimand, and even swung his sword and committed suicide on the sea. Looking back on the scene that day, I still surging my passion and passion could not be suppressed!"
"I just regret that the scholars were angry at that time. I was angry that I failed to follow Your Majesty at the sea and did my best. I still feel regretful to my life!" Ma Tingluan sighed after hearing this.
"Xiang Zhong said very much. Lin'an City was broken and the young emperor was hunting north. I was completely disappointed, but I didn't want to repay the emperor's kindness with death. I think I was really ashamed!" Wang Yinglin sighed with shame.
"Haha, last night, the storm was turbulent, and the boat was bumpy. I think it was difficult for you to fall asleep!"
"I will meet your Majesty, thank you for your concern!" Everyone looked back when they heard the voice. It was the little emperor who arrived, so they quickly stood up and saluted.
"Walking in the same boat is a century-long relationship. Everyone doesn't have to be polite, just be as good as you like!" Zhao Bing bowed and returned the ceremony. Then he asked someone to send some snacks and tea. He found a place to sit down and picked up a piece of snacks and let everyone use them together.
"Your Majesty has always been easy to treat others, so we should not be polite!" Xu Zongren also picked up the snacks on the table and said to everyone with a smile. They had been together on this boat with the little emperor in Yashan that day, so they naturally knew His Majesty's temperament better than them. Although things have been going on for many years, their temperament has not changed.
"Okay, then thank Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed again.
"I just said that Isn't it troublesome to thank you for your return? Life on the boat is lonely and life is even more boring!" Zhao Bing said unhappily.
"Haha, I am forgetful, please don't blame me." Ma Tingluan looked at the people next to him and smiled awkwardly.
"Please use some snacks. Last night, the wind and waves are storms, and you must have spit out the things in your stomach. You will never forget the feeling of hunger!" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty is right. I don't dare to fall asleep all night, for fear that I will fall off the bed and break this old bone!" Wang Yinglin took over with a smile.
"Your Majesty must have been unable to sleep all night?" Ma Tingluan asked again after taking a sip of tea.
"You don't know, Your Majesty is different from me." Wang De said bitterly, "I have been struggling all night and I wish I could vomit it out, but Your Majesty slept extremely safely and was not affected at all!"
"Haha, I am the opposite of everyone. Maybe I am used to it at sea, and I will be uncomfortable with the storm that I fight. On the contrary, I often can't sleep well on land!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is a real dragon, with a different talent. I can't learn it anymore!" Xu Zongren waved his hand and smiled. After saying that, he grabbed a snack and put it in his mouth.
"Hey, Your Majesty is partial, but he has no snacks for me to eat. Fortunately, I took a look!" At this time, Jiang Xu leaned into his head to take a look and then complained.
"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry!" Another person couldn't wait to push the door and said anxiously.
"Old Secretary Chen, you can sleep and eat, so you should be stronger!" Xu Zongren moved to the side and made room for Chen Zhongwei.
"Haha, I have been away in Lin'an for more than ten years. In my lifetime, I can see the king's flag again on the city wall and I can retire without regrets in this life!" Chen Zhongwei picked up the snack and took a bite and said vaguely.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work at sea, why should Chen Qing rush to retire? It's not too late to wait for us to return to Tokyo!" Zhao Bing personally poured a tea ceremony for Chen Zhongwei. The old man is already seventy-three this year. I heard that he would take Jiangdong and follow his escorts to go on the battle, and no one could stop him.
"Okay, I will wait until the day of regaining Bianliang, but you will scold me for being old!" Chen Zhongwei bowed and thanked him, and took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"As long as we can settle Jiangdong in this battle, it will not take two years to recover Bianliang!" Jiang Xuan found a seat next to his opponent and sat down.
"Why did Your Majesty choose to go out to sea in this weather? Isn't it so pleasant to travel on the sea today?" After a while of greetings and laughing, Ma Tingluan said with a little regret.
"Of course it's just to attack him by surprise!" Jiang Yu said, "Lin'an is an important town in Jiangdong. The Yuan army stationed tens of thousands of troops here. If you want to enter Shaoxing without knowing it, you can only hide your traces. Qiongzhou has a Mongol Yuan eyeliner. Once the news of Your Majesty's personal expedition is heard, it will definitely arouse the enemy's alertness, and it will be difficult to attack Shaoxing!"
"Well, Your Majesty is extremely worried. If the demon monk learned that our army was raising troops to attack, he would definitely speed up the destruction of the imperial tombs and set up defenses around him!" Xu Zongren nodded.
"Your Majesty, but our army has dispatched tens of thousands of troops this time and traveled thousands of miles. Is it impossible to escape the surrounding eyeliner?" Chen Zhongwei frowned and said.
"Shangshu Chen doesn't know that our fleet is now sailing fifty miles away from the coast. It's rainy season again, and no ship will venture deep into the distant sea. We sent an advance fleet and found that the enemy's ship would sink it in one fell swoop. How could he let him go back and report!" Jiang Qi said while eating.
"Oh, so that's it. No wonder the wind and waves were so big last night!" Chen Zhongwei nodded. He also knew very well that whether it was a long-distance merchant ship or a warship, they usually drove along the coast. One was to use the land and islands on the coast as reference objects to avoid trekking; the other was to facilitate the shore and escape from wind and supply, and would never risk the overturn to enter the distant sea.
"In addition, although our fleet is large, it is not for the capture of Lin'an. We will divide troops outside the Qiantang River. We will go straight to Shaoxing and protect the tomb of the former emperor; we will go all the way to the estuary of the Yangtze River to block the enemy Jianghuai naval army and open up roads for the rear army." Jiang Yan explained again.
"Oh, don't we take Lin'an?" Ma Tingluan asked in surprise.
"Of course I have to recover Lin'an, but my dear friends have been stationed in Lin'an for a long time. I believe that Lin'an City is high and deep, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has a wide range of water and land. If you attack for a strong force, it will cause great damage and will hurt innocent people, so you can only take advantage of your wisdom!" Zhao Bing smiled, but he secretly cursed in his heart that he was the most unfamiliar with Lin'an. It was the first time he went there.
"Your Majesty's intention is to lead the enemy out of the city, divide and annihilate it, and then take advantage of the situation and enter!" Ma Tingluan said.
"Yes, that's exactly that!" Zhao Bing said.
After conquering Jiangnan, the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty re-adjusted the military and political institutions. The Privy Council successively abolished them and divided them into ten provinces in Henan, Jiangbei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Liaoyang and Lingbei across the country. Each province has two members of Pingzhang, who are in charge of military affairs and governors of the military and horses of the province. The Pingzhang of the province is generally appointed by the Mongolians, and sometimes chooses to use Seme people, and the Han people are not allowed to serve.
The Wanhu Mansion, the Marshal's Mansion, etc. in the province are all subordinate military mansions of the province. In areas far away from the center of the province or in the minority settlement areas, Xuanwei Office is established to take charge of military and civilian affairs, and to divide the roads to govern counties and counties. If the province has a government order, it will be distributed to the lower province, and if the county has a request, it will be achieved in the province. If there are any military affairs on the border, it will also be the Marshal's Mansion.
The Xuanwei Department's Marshal's Office generally has a fixed military office, which is in charge of some of the troops. The dispatch of troops from each province must be approved by the Privy Council. The towns and military farms in the province must also be negotiated and determined by provincial officials and the Privy Council. When wars occur in a certain area, the Privy Council will first send troops to suppress the orders. If it does not work, it will be ordered to send troops to fight against each other. Sometimes, the Privy Council will also be established in areas with frequent wars, and the troops transferred from each province will be temporarily transferred. After the war is pacified, the war will be abolished.
In the area south of the Yellow River, the Mongolian Yuanyuan used the Song Dynasty as the Xinpeng territory, and Jiangnan was also the economic center at that time. The commander-in-chief of the army, Boyan and others, examined the geographical appropriateness and formulated 63 stations for military deployment. Then they divided the troops and went out to guard the country four times. In the 22nd year of Zhiyuan, the Yuan court divided the 37 10,000 households under the jurisdiction of Jianghuai and Jiangxi provinces into the upper, middle and lower levels, and garrisoned them in different places, and Hangzhou occupied four 10,000 households.
Of course, these four ten thousand households were not all stationed in Hangzhou. Zhao Bing thought that the ten thousand households in Hangzhou were like the modern military region headquarters, which was in charge of all the garrisons in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and the military region headquarters was stationed in Hangzhou. According to the principle of setting up ten thousand households in the Mongolian Yuan Prefecture, setting up ten thousand households in the prefecture, and setting up ten thousand households in the county, the ten thousand households in the province were also stationed in various places to guard the troops.
Therefore, the Wanhushou, a member of the Wanhu Mansion of Hangzhou, was stationed in the Wuwei Army on Luzhou Road, the Wanhushou of Zhending, Jiangning Prefecture on Jining Road, and Pingjiang on Zhejiang East Road, and the navy was trained in Longwan, Jiangning Prefecture. In fact, only the Wanhushou of Shangdu, was stationed in Hangzhou, and some of the people of the Wanhu Mansion of Yidu, were mainly their families, responsible for providing logistics supply for the Wanhu Mansion of the Wanhu Mansion. In addition, the Wanhu Mansion of the Wanhu Mansion of the sea route stationed in Liujiagang, and they also have the responsibility to maintain coastal public security.
Zhao Bing's plan was to concentrate troops from the four thousand households of the Mongolian Yuan scattered everywhere to annihilate them one by one, so as to avoid them gathering in one place to support each other and form a confrontation, and at the same time, to avoid them from defending the city to form a protracted offensive and defensive battle. This required mobilizing the enemy out of the city and jumping into his ambush circle, and having the enemy out of the garrison should have enough bait to leave the garrison. Before swearing to send troops, Zhao Bing set out to hide strategic intentions and achieve the effect of a surprise attack; second, to protect the imperial tomb and avoid being excavated on a large scale; third, to act as bait, mobilizing the enemy in Lin'an to get out of the city and annihilate them in Shaoxing Mausoleum District.
This time, the army led by Zhao Bing was mainly based on the imperial guards. After several expansions, the guards were organized into a personal guard brigade and a guard battalion. They mainly acted as guards and travel guards of the palace city; there were also three infantry brigades, a cavalry brigade and an artillery regiment; there were also a guard naval army, equipped with hundreds of warships of all sizes and sizes, and had nearly 30,000 troops.
During this expedition, Zhao Bing left his personal guard brigade to guard the city, and all the rest went out with the army. The first fleet led by Dong Yicheng, who was responsible for cover and transport, would go to the task of capturing Liujiagang and controlling the canal after completing the escort mission, and annihilated the enemy's water forces, control the coastal waters of Hangzhou, and create conditions for the subsequent troops to maneuver on the water.
Therefore, what Zhao Bing alone went deep into the hinterland this time would be the most arduous task. He not only had to firmly attract the most elite Shangdu Wanhu, stationed in Hangzhou, to Shaoxing, but also mobilized Wanhu stationed in the Wuwei Army. Although they had a slight advantage in terms of military strength, they should know that this was in the enemy-occupied area. The enemy could mobilize all forces to siege them, and he could only persist until each army completed its respective tasks before he had the opportunity to launch a counterattack. However, once the task was not completed on time, he would bear greater pressure.
